Mission
The Institute is an independent non-profit that is devoted to contemporary American Jewish life. It is dedicated to raising awareness about the ethnic, racial and cultural diversity of global Jewish identity and experience.
-
Experiential ActivitiesCamp Bechol Lashon (CBL) is Jewish overnight camp for multicultural children located in the San Francisco Bay Area, with campers from around the US and the world. Each day campers encounter Judaism through the history and culture of Jewish communities around the world, highlighting the ways in which universal Jewish values find unique expression in different places. Children explore personal identity, moving from their individual stories to seeing themselves as an integral part of global Jewish life.Community Events strengthen Jewish identity by expanding awareness of the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of Jewish identity, language, and experience. We celebrate Jews as a multicultural people through partnering and co-sponsoring a variety of community events and programs, often bridging the gap from Jews on the margins to mainstream Jewish life.

Leadership As the Jewish community becomes more racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse, Be'chol Lashon seeks to bring the historic Jewish commitment to civil rights and racial justice forward into the 21st century by providing opportunities for Jewish professionals and others to actively engage in conversations about race, ethnicity and identity. Our Speakers Bureau addresses a wide range of topics of interest to congregations, organizations, campuses, and communities. Be'chol Lashon speakers are dynamic diverse community, academic, and cultural arts leaders who are ambassadors for a global and diverse Jewish community.
Expenses $187,612 · Revenue $13,500
-
Educational Resources Bechol Lashon creates educational resources that strengthen Jewish identity by expanding awareness of the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of Jews around the world. According to our research, approximately 20% of America's six million Jews are African American, Asian, Latino, mixed-race, Sephardic, and Mizrahi by birth, intermarriage, conversion and adoption. And Jews of all backgrounds, who are growing up in a diverse and interconnected world, value diversity and inclusion. Jews are a multicultural people who live around the world, yet there are very few Jewish educational resources that adequately address the demographic reality of contemporary Jewish life. Our educational resources provide skills, tools, and expertise to navigate different cultural spaces in a Jewish context.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
